Canary Wharf to Heathrow 12 mins
Regional flight, reimagined. Skip the underground, and experience the efficiency and ease of electric flight. We’re taking airport transfers skybound with Valo.
Our commitment to safety
Certified to stringent safety standards, Valo is designed to meet the same levels required of commercial passenger airliners.
Space to sit comfortably
The Valo cabin has a spacious seating arrangement and generous cargo capacity. Plenty of room for you, and your luggage.
The joy of flight
The interior captures the essence of electric flight; combining innovative materiality and considered design. A space to relax, stay connected, and enjoy the view.
Flexible flight configurations
To offer maximum versatility, Valo’s modular design can be adapted to meet different customer needs, and serve a range of markets over its operational lifetime.
Tilt-shift propellers
Carbon fibre composite construction. Exceptional engineering. Eight propellers control the elevation and direction of Valo with ultimate precision.
Low Noise Signature (LNS) technology
Valo's refined acoustics and aerodynamics minimise noise in hover, and cruise. Making it virtually imperceptible in urban environments.
Flight control system
We’ve partnered with Honeywell to install their world-class avionics and flight control systems in Valo. All-digital — for performance upgrades and enhancements over time.
Carbon composite airframe
Our partners at Syensqo, Leonardo, and Aciturri pair scientific research with technological brilliance to produce the Valo’s strong, lightweight airframe. Engineering that makes electric flight possible.
The height of certification
The Valo aircraft will meet global UK CAA/EASA SC-VTOL enhanced category certification standards, the same level of safety as current passenger airliners.

A new kind of craft
We’re changing urban transport. And change takes true collaboration on every level. Meet the top-tier partners working to design electric air mobility and to bring our shared vision to life.
Battery Power
Taking charge of advancements in power and storage at the Vertical Energy Centre (VEC)
Blending experience from the European Space Agency, Airbus, McLaren and Dyson — our VEC team developed our proprietary battery technology. Molicel supplies cylindrical cells to achieve the high power, low impedance and fast charging required to make Valo flight possible, and practical.
Propellers
This is the cutting-edge carbon composite engineering defining eVTOL flight
Powerful, predictable performance. Our in-house experts have developed the Valo’s propeller’s design to balance aerodynamics, mass and noise to maximise aircraft performance in flight.
Avionics
Honeywell elevates the control and experience of Valo with their flight control system
Compliant with aerospace cyber security regulations and UK CAA and EASA SC-VTOL enhanced category certification standards of safety, the system will benefit from digital upgrades and cloud data insights to enhance and optimise all-electric flight today, and tomorrow.
Valo is a craft of it’s own — the result of years of innovation, building and testing by our dedicated team of world-class engineers.
No shortcuts where
safety is concerned
eVTOL’s are altogether a different craft than a helicopter — especially when it comes to safety. Complex rotors, gearboxes and critical systems require helicopter inspections and maintenance at least every 100 flying hours.
In comparison, Valo’s eight sets of propellers with simplified pitch control are uncomplicated and low maintenance. That’s why we’re on track to achieve the same level of safety standards as a large commercial aircraft.
